Zusammenfassung:Based on criticism of NGOzation movements as a way to domesticate and depouticize collective action, this work discusses the operation of NGOs that defend the rights of the LGBTI population--specifically trans women--in three Colombian cities: Cali, Bogota and Barranquilla. Using ethnographic techniques, the authors analyze three organizations that defend the rights associated to sexual diversity and focus on their interactions with the trans-population, maintaining that the organizations defraud their operational goals in at least three ways: (i) they focus on legal mobilization --which promotes symbolic rather than material changes--as their main strategy; (ii) they reinforce polemic gender stereotypes that end up affecting the very population they defend; and (iii) they maintain relationships of instrumentalization, cooptation, and complementarity with the people they claim to represent. Keywords: LGBTI, ngOs, strategic litigation, NGOzation, legalfetishism. Basado en la critica a los movimientos de ONG como una forma de domesticar y despolitizar la accion colectiva, este trabajo discute el funcionamiento de las ONG que defienden los derechos de la poblacion LGBTI, especificamente, de las mujeres trans, en tres ciudades colombianas: Cali, Bogotay Barranquilla. Utilizando tecnicas etnograficas, las autoras analizan tres organizaciones que defienden los derechos asociados a la diversidad sexual y se centran en sus interacciones con lapoblacion trans. Los hallazgos las llevan a a argumentar que las organizaciones defraudan sus objetivos operativos al menos de tres maneras: (i) se centran en la movilizacion legal que promueve cambios simbolicos y no materiales, como su principal estrategia; (ii) refuerzan los estereotipos polemicos de genero que terminan por afectar a la poblacion que defienden; y (iii) mantienen relaciones de instrumentalizacion, cooptacion y complementariedad con las personas que dicen representar. Palabras clave: LGBTI, ONG, litigio estrategico, ONGizacion, fetichismo legal.

Utilizando tecnicas etnograficas, as autoras analisam tres organizacoes que defendem os direitos associados a diversidade sexual e se centram em suas interacoes com a populacao trans.
